First free day in Munich

We got up for check in and made a plan on Facebook letting everyone know If they wanted to tour the stain with us that we were leaving at noon. After check in our group headed to Marienplatz. We got a group day pass which was really handy. For up to 5 people we could travel in a group all day until 6 am for only 10,60. So we split it between four people and it was cheaper that way for sure. At the Marienplatz we went into the largest book store in the area. It was 6 stories tall. We ended up spending our whole time there and were even running late to get back to the hotel to meet up with the group. When we got to the hotel everyone was about to leave and we proceeded to get to te train station to buy all the train tickets. Of course traveling in a big group I should of planned for more time. Some people didn't have Euros yet an that was kind if a problem. It left pretty late and I was worried we weren't going to make it to the stadium on time. The website said there is only one English tour a day at 1 pm. We got to the desk at 1:03 and I was a little bit freaked out, but luckily once we got there for some reason the website was not up to date and the tour was at 2 pm. I was so relieved. I told the front desk that we had 18 people and that we were going to pay separate. He didn't really like that idea and said it's be better if we all just had one person pay and then we pay him. One of the guys on the trip said as long as everyone had cash he was fine with it. So he was nice enough to put everything on his credit card. We also included in paying him the fee he'd get. So in the end he came out pretty well and didn't have to take any euros out if the bank. Going on the tour was Awesome!! I want to see a game there at some point in my life. It's right up there on my bucket list with seeing the German national team play as well as a world cup game. I was like a little kid in a candy shop seeing everything, since I have recently started following FC Bayern. Some may say oh you're just a bandwagon fan, but really my favorite team is the german national team and over half of that team plays for FCB. Plus it is easy to follow FCB in the US where it is harder to follow other soccer teams there. After the tour we headed left the group and went back to Marienplatz. Since we ran out of time at the book store before we went back and spent another 3 hours there. Since the majority of the group I hung out with spoke German it was really cool to go through everything. It's also nice that they had an English section so Taylor didn't feel too left out. We then grabbed something to eat. Bobbie and Taylor disappeared for a while, so Cody and I went with a huge group to the Hofbrahaus. We stayed for a little bit and then headed back to the hotel where we found Taylor. We headed out to a club. It was a lot of fun to dance. We just kin f stumbled around and found the place. It turned out to be known as the best set of clubs in Munich. The club we hung out in had two different dance floors along with upstairs in both of them. The lights and music were amazing. The lights just added to the enjoyment of dancing.
